  1. Turning into a pretty good game. Aztecs with probably a record turnout for a rain game yet almost San Joseish if it were to become a habit, struggling with a 2-3 AFA squad who's best opponents to date are USU and UNR. AFA not looking like the AFA of old with a struggling offense clearly lacking the confidence we're used to. Despite all the negative crap I just typed, it's a pretty fun game to watch.
  2. I wouldn't be surprised.
  3. Sure, but if it's what your into?... Still don't know what you've got against garages.
  4. Hey, what's wrong with a garage? Meh, it's just another metric. Meaningless, but interesting to some.
  5. No. I think he had it right.
  6. I responded. I don't see why there would be a question, it was pretty obvious. And nobody tattled.
  7. No it's not. We may win one more game this year, and that's only because we get Wyoming at home.
  8. You've got CSU too high.
  9. This was anticipated. I thought it would be a possibility before the season started. @kingpotato flat out called it.
  10. This win doesn't gain that type of respect. Good team though, an overall assessment of their capabilities should get them there, eventually, if they keep it up. Many of us had them as the preseason dark horse, we're starting to look kind of smart on that account. As an aside...I am neither a USU or BYU fan, but spend a lot of time in the area on business. USU is definitely viewed as the little brother, and it's a big, big assumption that they are not at the Utah/BYU level when conversing in the greater Salt Lake area. Last night's ass whuppin bruised a lot of egos for sure. I'm loving it!!
  11. We'll see. Like I said, your reasons for our demise were not spot on despite your successful prediction of our demise. CSU is at a fork in the road. I think one fork gets us to the top of the division again next year. I think the other leaves us 2-3 years to break .500. We'll see.
  12. For a whole different set of reasons than @slappy enumerated, he's still going to probably win "prognosticator of the year" regarding CSU's season and record. We'll see, but I think he nailed it with his 3-9 prediction. Those of us with some optimism relied on some fairly positive and to some extent "unrealistic" assumptions. We also didn't anticipate the HC's medical issue. Not using those as an excuse, and neither is he, but it has definitely had an impact. If anything, his reduced involvement shows that he is a legit HC (despite 90% of Ramnation's opinion) just due to the failures of the coordinators and assistants to do their job when he's getting treatment. More importantly though has been the VERY slow absorption of the blocking scheme by the O-line. I'll lay some of that on the new O-line coach, and I'll put a bunch of that on relying on JC's. We'll be much better there, very soon, when we get into HS recruits. For now though, that stopgap has been about as effective as the Larry Eustachy transfer program. While I'm ranting....is our new DC the reincarnation of Steve Stanard or is his system so complicated that we'll just flat out suck until next years team finally gets it. I hope it's the latter because that does involve some success from next years team. If he's the new Stanard, we'll suck in perpetuity. It is fair to point out that this years seniors on defense are working under their 4th DC, and 4th iteration of a defensive scheme. 3-4 in '14 under Marty and the other guy. 4-3 in '15 under that guy that came in with Bobo and bailed right after the season for Georgia Southern, forget his name (hell he wasn't here long enough to get a drivers license). Back to the 3-4 under Marty in '16 and '17 ( dang we sucked then), and finally 4-3 again in '18. I can't come up with one reason why they would be confused in their assignments. We're that family that is unbelievably dysfunctional, and so stupid that we are looking at everybody but ourselves to try and figure out why. Honestly, we could be really good with some therapy. I doubt we'll go there though.
  13. Easy answer. Fort Collins. I'll get with Stunner and get this done.
  14. Too easy. This isn't getting the contract to cure cancer, but it's still a get. Good for UNLV. Just keep going.
  15. Would love to see that kind of blocking in The Fort. Good stuff.
  16. All of this, except no...Boise will cover.
  17. Two games seems light on the surface. I wonder what the circumstances were.
  18. I'm not sure how close we are or aren't. I said that membership needs to be the challenge given the new president. It's a goal that CSU has been working on. As far as who's next in line or not, my understanding is that there isn't some sort of waiting list with an order to it. Maybe I've heard wrong. Again, not claiming this is imminent. If it were, it wouldn't be a challenge.
  19. True. But it is a shit show that could 180 at the drop of a hat with the right approach. I think Bobo has the right approach in his head, but he doesn't look like the guy to implement it. At the AD level, JP didn't hire Larry and he had a big fight to fire Larry. I'm liking the new guy, a lot. JP didn't hire Bobo, but he did extend him. I'm in the minority as I think it was a good extension. Unfortunately, Bobo's assistant hires appear to be busts. They're taking him out with them. As for prez...none of this AD stuff is rocket science. That would work out with me or you as prez. Bigger fish to fry in that office.
  20. I am, most are not. Most RAM fans can only remember two years ago and can only see about 12 mos. down the road. Sad, but true. Well, at least the vocal ones that frequent Ramnation. Most that I know are of the same mind that I am.
  21. Our academics are fine. Not a big deal to drive that luxury car. Athletics are well funded, just need some better leadership. New guy has to handle both, but the real focus needs to be research and improving our reputation among the elite universities. AAU is the challenge that should be handed off to the new prez.
  22. https://source.colostate.edu/president-frank-transitioning-to-full-time-csu-system-chancellor-role-in-july-2019/ He's been arguably the most athletically involved president in the university's history, so it'll be interesting to see where we go next. The regents approved the stadium overwhelmingly so I doubt they're interested in candidates that aren't focused on filling seats to make bond payments. I've already sent LoFazz in as a candidate. We'll see just how much pull I have with my alma mater.
  23. What do you expect? We gave up 3 picks and a muffed punt. Still, we aren't eligible since almost everybody in the MWC loses to bye this year.
